Another Adult Stem Cell Research Success

Chalk up yet another success for adult stem cell research; meanwhile, the crickets still chirp for a single success from the human-life-destroying embryonic stem cell research.

CitizenLink calls attention to at article in the Star-Telegram and Digital Journal about an athlete being successfully treated for meningitis-related damage to his limbs.

Two weeks after treatment, the soles of his feet and palms of his hands are softening, his circulation has improved, and his right foot is moving, said Dr. Zannos Grekos, the cardiologist who is treating Lampkin, now at the hospital in Naples, Fla., where Grekos is based."It looks like we have already saved his legs and arms," Grekos said. "Now we're hoping to save most of each foot and his hands."

This isn't the first adult stem cell treatment administered by Dr. Grekos
Grekos said he has used adult stem cells to treat patients for cardiovascular, lung and kidney. But he had never used the technology with a patient who was suffering tissue decay due to meningitis.

Adult stem cell therapy is ALREADY responsible for dozens of successful treatments ranging from muscle damage to leukemia, angina, vision loss, Parkinson's Disease, diabetes, and hear tissue regeneration.

There is simply no reason to pursue the destruction of human life with embryonic stem cell research when adult stem cell research is already producing breakthroughs.

Unless, of course, we've become cavalier about human life and embraced the culture of death...

Mr. Ellis, can you not understand that EMBRYONIC stem cell research is not about developing therapies? If that were the case all our research energies and efforts would be directed toward ADULT stem cells studies since that is the only field that has been productive.

EMBRYONIC stem cell research is about big federal dollars to labs that have yet to show any prominse, but most importantly, it is about putting a happy face on the grissly practices of abortion and infanticide, requisite for obtaining the needed tissues.

I know, Dr. Theo; I can be slow sometimes. I have this silly habit of expecting people to be logical, rational, and seek the greater good before their own. It's a habit I'm trying to break...

More on the "Jonas Salk of Stem, Cells."

Zannos Grekos, a Naples FL cardiologist, was a latecomer to stem cells. It was only 18 months ago he flew to Bangkok with a close personal friend to observe his stem cell treatment for late-stage heart disease. I had the pleasure of introducing him to two of the finest treating cardiologists in the stem cell field and was amazed at how fast they left me in the dust with their super-technical discussions.

Dr. Grekos came back to Bangkok another time a few months later and then vowed to open a clinic for adult stem cell therapies in the Dominican Republic, named "regenocyte."

Imagine, gentlemen, the doctors at Parkland Hospital had little choice but to chop three limbs off the unfortunate athlete in your story, but his aunt found Grekos on the net and he rushed from Naples to Dallas to rescue the young man from a fate at least as bad as death to a young athlete.

We at the Worldwide Center for Adult Stem Cell Education are proud to have named Zannos Grekos to our Scientific Advisory Board exactly one month before his Dallas miracle. All I did was have the luck to watch him pick up two years worth of technical knowledge in about 90 minutes during that first week in Bangkok and then become the finest stem cell doctor in the world for no-hope heart and diabetes patients. How he moved into meningitis on a moment's notice is something I'll never be able to explain, even to myself.

Oh, by the way, his stem-cell-treated friend of 2006 is working 14 hours a day in his Naples restaurant and loving every minute of it.
